@@ex-itguy Was some years ago, can't remember it well. I think it was a Core 2 Quad. Looked in the PC manual before, what max cpu I could take! Ordered via Ebay. It arrived maybe 1 1/2 weeks later. And worked straight away! Never had a problem with it, and with the GPU it was enough to run Counterstrike well! But I gifted the PC to a friend. But it was the reason I got into PC gaming again, this little upgrade project I made. I now own a prebuild and am happy with it ;)

@@ex-itguy It was about energy consumption, I build a system myself but it consumed 130w in idle (whole system with monitor etc). And everything was configured the best I could do. I then sold it and bought a prebuild, now 80w in idle (whole system again). I don't know if its something with efficiency and self builds. The components where all very good. Sure, it also had a liquid cooler etc. But the prebuild got about the same power as my self build back then. And consumes way less.

@ex-itguy Күн бұрын
That's quite the difference indeed! Hard to find which components cause that without having others to try. The GTX670 that I show shortly in this video performs about the same as the GTX1050Ti... but uses about twice as much power, both idle and under load. Btw if you like low power devices, you might like the unit in the video I'm working on now. ;)

Found this randomly from the youtube recommendations. I remember years ago installing linux on a Mac Mini 1,1 that had a 32-bit intel cpu, it has the same 32-bit EFI problem it seems as the early 64-bit machines. I even remember running the same patch to remove the EFI loader from the ISO. Excellent video, subscribed :)
